RAW is being regulated to the B Show. They are putting their A-team(broadcast commentator wise) on Smackdown. Expect the WWE draft to draft big names to Smackdown.

I think Rollins, Becky, Charlotte, Roman, Lesnar will be Smackdown names.

They will keep Bray/The Fiend as the hot act on RAW to still get people to tune into them. I also see AJ Styles being drafted to RAW. RAW will become more of a wrestling focused show.

Either way I see both shows destroying the joke product AEW puts out

Keep this shite on the Smackdown thread.

Outside of the weekly Raw and Smackdown watch threads, no other wrasslin needs to be discussed.

Smackdown was always a good show, RAW was the show that seemed to hit a rut in terms of quality. I don't think Bischoff is involved in the writing or production of Smackdown but more of the network relations and business side of things

Both shows have gotten better

This is going to kill the Fiend or the OC maybe both.....Fiend needs some legit competition while he is champ (of which there are really 3-4...Rollins, Reigns, AJ, and DB) and I mean shite if they have the Miz take it off of him well that would be the end of the Fiend.

If you couldn’t see this from a mile away, of course the prime time network show was going to be the A show.

Raw will be better for it.
Heyman can build stars, or rebuild stars that they’ve botched.

I think splitting the brands would be dumb at this point, but they’ll have to listen to Fox.

Miz won't be anywhere near the Universal title. His old partner John Morrison just signed with WWE today. Maybe they'll get back together.

John Morrison is an acquired taste, but his in ring work is exciting.

I wish ADR was still around. They had a good feud in Lucha Underground.

Miz will stay on RAW to stay on the same network his reality show is on

They are going to bring Balor back as Demon Balor.

AJ and the OC aren’t going anywhere.

Randy will head back to Raw.

Strowman is going to finally get his chance.

Plus whatever you see from Miz and Morrison.

Ricochet is going to linger around the main event.

Corbin.

Drew McIntyre

The Fiend isn’t necessarily going to be a heel. He’s going to be Taker.

I was thinking the same thing. Im not sure I would have put him in the title scene this quickly. He doesn't exactly need the belt. I would like to see him 'save' some people with the HEAL glove.

Wow there's a lot here.

quote:

Great.....they've fricked that up every time it happened basically. If they put Balor in the OC that will be fun for a while until it's not.

quote:

AJ and the OC aren’t going anywhere.


That means the Fiend will mean less then because the only legit performer on Raw that could chase the Fiend as a face is AJ.

quote:

Randy will head back to Raw.


Another top heel....so that's Fiend, AJ, and Orton

quote:

Strowman is going to finally get his chance.


How many times has this been supposed to happen? Strowman is so damaged.....I'm starting to doubt this ever happens.

quote:

Plus whatever you see from Miz and Morrison.


Probably similar to 5 years ago....which is to say good not great.

quote:

Ricochet is going to linger around the main event.


I'm a Ricochet mark but even I'll admit he is coming along real slow.

quote:

Corbin.


Probably should be the most concerned here.....the top mid card heel whose spot is gonna be pushed if they do bring in Orton to Raw .....it has to.

quote:

Drew McIntyre


Another top mid card heel.....could move up but to do what.

quote:

The Fiend isn’t necessarily going to be a heel. He’s going to be Taker.


Maybe so but look at Taker's early years with WWE.....he was a straight heel....it took him years of character development to get where he is now (which really is basically a Babyface)....the Fiend has pretty much been straight heel and even the Funhouse segments have started to stray that way.

Don't be dumb.....that's like casting Will Smith for a white guy part and writing "be a white guy" in the script.

If this would have happened I would have absolutely been on board with the tweener thing.....to this point it hasn't and I don't think it will when he wins the title
